I was beginning to think that perhaps my back was getting better, and indeed it is so much better than it was.
I don't take as long as I did to get out of bed, although it's still a bit of a trial, it still takes a while to turn over in bed I can't yet put my own socks on, but manage everything else thankfully!!
I am walking better, but get dreadfully stiff after sitting for a while, so I'm actually standing as I type and it is still quite painful, and catches every so often.
Yesterday evening one of our lovely Chinese students came to give me some chinese medicine..It's like a patch,and has all the good old stuff of yester year in it ,like campherated oil and such, so it's on my back and I have to change it each day.
But today, I got fed up with dithering "should I go and see the doc again and ask for a refferal to physio "kinésithérapie" (need to practise that one!) and it is such a pain not being able to drive, and cos of that the children may not be able to go to scouts on Saturday so, I phoned and have an appointment for 4.15 would you believe, just as Alan is off to get the children!
They aren't our usual docs, cos they are in Villenave, and I can't drive! So it may be better to change anyway, as the one that I am seeing this afternoon, is just within walking distance, and the children have been there recently, Gwilym with his broken toe.. Catrin with something else,so it does seem a bit more practical.
.
So, I have to go alone, and tell, and listen and understand!! Hope they're friendly!!!

What your Chinese friend should have brought you was Tiger Balm, not that cissy white stuff but the red,(which I believe in my days in the far east had used to contain opium). It would cure many things, muscle pains, headaches and countless other maladies.
P.S. Sorry, I forgot to say that I hope it starts to heal up very quickly now.
